Mariners lefthander Erik Bedard. There have already been rumors that the Phillies would be a logical landing spot for Bedard (4-4, 4.26) as Seattle’s season continues to crumble. The suggestion is that the Phillies would package a bundle of their top prospects in exchange for a guy the M’s gave up a lot to get before the start of the season. It remains to be seen if the Phillies are willing to empty their minor league cupboard. Bedard is making $7 million this year and can’t be a free agent until 2010. He’s also an introverted sort and some wonder if he would thrive in a city like Philadelphia, New York or Boston. — Philadelphia Daily News
